paintingas an artist.I aotually beagan drawing again in the summer of 1995 when
my lather died.so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father,or
maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him.In any case,I drew pen
and ink animals and landscapes(风景画)much influenced(影响)by krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some
strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing
walereolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last
time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became
my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors
should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried
out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first
choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number
of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano
playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is
wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said,“At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
